Descendant of Gone with the Wind author to be featured on Tour of Homes

The book Gone with the Wind became a major motion picture that instantly became a classic when it premiered in Atlanta in 1939.

During a tour of the Holiday Trail of Lights, the West Tabernacle Community Senior Citizens group will experience a private tour of the home of Frances Irving, a descendant of Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell, author of the book.
